What do you think the chances that Oregon will win the NCAA tourney are. I personally think they are sensationally high. I mean we match up with notre dame and wisconsin so well, and florida will be a challenge but i know we can do it. I have us with ucla in the final four. and beating them. then against ohio st. to win. I mean of course i'm biased but honestly i think we have a great chance of winning, especially if the ducks keep up where they are right now. I mean the usc game wasn't even as good as Oregon couldhave been, they still have tons of tricks in the bag. My only disappointment is the fact that Bryce Taylor didnt even get honrable mention in the all pac 10 selections. BULL!

I'd say a 1 out of 65 chance.

They're an incredibly good team coming off their Pac-10 Tournament win. They're playing good ball at the right time, but have shown inconsistency in the past. If you get the Oregon team that has played so well as of recently, they could make a serious run. But with Florida and Wisconsin in the same region, it's going to take a huge effort to even make it to the Final Four. You just don't know what team you're going to get from Oregon. It's either the "Pac-10 Champion" Ducks or the "Lose 6 out of 8 in late January/February" Ducks. Either way I look for them to make it to the Sweet 16. Just not much further.

I say that the ducks can get pretty far if they play the way they played against USC, that was AMAZING. Taylor 11 for 11 from the field, including 7 3-pointers. But the key factor for Oregon is Brooks. If he is on his game, I think they can go far. I don't know about beating Wisconsin (though that big guy is out with an elbow injury, hurting their chances). I think beating UCLA is a possibility, but if UCLA is on their game, I have my money on them.
OSU vs. Oregon in the championship would be a TOUGH match up for Oregon. There is no player for the Ducks that can handle Oden. For Oregon to have a chance they would need Taylor, Brooks, and Porter to play close to the way Taylor played last week.
But the Ducks do have a shot.
Good Luck!

OK I'm sorry I'm from Oregon and i know that we've had a great run this year especially with winning the Pac-10 tourney and everything...but I dont think tht we will make it anywhere near the finals, or even near the sweet 16...sorry but its not tht good of a run!! Hell last time we where in the final four was like what 1939...when we won it...sorry just not that good.

I love Oregon and am a huge fan of the Pac-10. I think Oregon presents match up problems for teams at the guard position because Brooks and Porter are so quick and can shoot. At the same time I think that they will struggle on the defensive end because their guards are so small. Remember Oregon starts for guards with their big man Luenen, if you consider him a big man. I think they can beat UNLV because they too start 4 guards. But after that they will fall to Florida because they won't be able to handle Horford and Noah and even Brewer. But I will be rooting for them.

GO Oregon because I live in Eugene, Oregon, but I'm from Columbus, Ohio. Ohio State is gonna win it all and Oregon will be in the elite 8 maybe.

Oregon is a good perimeter shooting team, but they will live and die by the three. If they're making the outside shots, they will make it pretty far, but if they are not on top of their game, they will lose. I have them going to the Elite 8, but that might be a reach. They are so unpredictable.

I like Oregon, but I would be suprised if they make it to the sweet 16.

i think its not bad i got them in the final four but that might be it due to the lack of their size because their two gaurds ar 5"6 and 5"11 I WANNA SEE THEM WIN IT ALL

slim to none. don't get me wrong, they have a pretty good team, but they really don't have an inside presence and one player can't score all the baskets for your team. let them go up against North Carolina and see what Hansboro and Wright will do to them up front. so no they can't win it all.
